I swear, it's a fire hazard.

Ha! yeah, our family had so many things hooked into the back of our television that you could totally detect that sweet electrical burn smell if you got close enough. Also, I kid you not, if you jostled the wires around while the TV was on, you could here a radio station being broadcast in some other language.

@Capeman

It's awesome the range of ages on this forum

It really is amazing.

@Capeman

@Capeman In case you need more woodgrain

My custom 70's arcade cabinet

[Capeman]

I went as "Atari" as possible and put my pi right into an atari 2600, haha!

I did a bartop a while back too, but the woodgain on that is just automotive vinyl, haha. Damn MDF doesnt have the same character as real wood...

All very nice! When it comes to retro gaming systems, you can never have too much wood grain.

[Capeman]

@mediamogul AGREED!

[lilbud]

@Capeman While my cabinet is all real wood, the woodgrain is just laminate.

@lilbud If I had a wood grain Neo Geo, i think i'd be done collecting. Why keep climbing when you have already reached the top.

[mediamogul]

It's funny, I'm already trying to price one to see how much blood I'll have to sell.

[lilbud]

@mediamogul @Capeman

They don't make them anymore, but they went for $600

EDIT: The cheap ones went for $649, If you wanted Cherry of Hickory, that would have run you 12 Benjamins

[Capeman]

@mediamogul Probably have to skip blood and go straight for internal organs. Who needs 2 kidneys anyway.

[mediamogul]

@Capeman

Ha! good point.

[lilbud]

@Capeman Just remember, once you buy the systems. You have to buy a $100 arcade stick and $200 games
